ipidendrum anthoceros, of which I have seen a draw- 
ing (with analysis of the lip) made from the type in the 
Reichenbach Herbarium in Vienna, appears closely to 
resemble J. cornutum, as represented by a photograph 
of the latter species (bearing an analytical drawing of the 
lip) from the Lindley Herbarium at Kew. It has leaves 
very similar to the more robust Colombian specimen of 
Ie. cornutum which was mounted on the same sheet with 
the type, but has a more elongate raceme than is shown 
by even the more slender type of £7. cornutum. The only 
notable difference between these concepts, however, is 
that 17. anthoceros is represented as having minutely den- 
ticulate acute lateral lobes of the lip, whereas those of 
7.cornutum are shown as entire and rounded at the apex. 
In Weberbauer 6300, previously identified as EH. antho- 
ceros, the lateral lobes are obscurely denticulate but 
rounded at the apex. Thus it appears reasonable to neg- 
lect these minute characters as of insufficient diagnostic 
weight. 
Lpidendrum Pavonianum Reichb.f., represented in 
the Ames Herbarium by a drawing (with analysis of the 
lip) from the Reichenbach Herbarium, appears to have 
somewhat shorter broader leaves than the otherwise sim- 
ilar H. cornutum. The lateral lobes of the lip, which are 
represented as entire and rounded, are described and 
shown as thickened inside the margins.
